CARMEX lipstick shelf life: 5 years for unopened lipstick and 1 year after opening

In order to prevent lip peeling, many beautiful girls bought the useful CARMEX lip balm early. However, CARMEX lipstick is packaged abroad. How long is the shelf life of CARMEX lipstick? How do I check the shelf life and batch number of Xiaomiti lip balm?

CARMEX lipstick shelf life

The shelf life of CARMEX lipstick is five years, but if opened, it is best to use it up within 12 months, because repeated use will allow some microorganisms to enter the lipstick. The microorganisms attach to the lipstick and affect the ingredients of the lipstick, and change its shape and texture.

So beauty-loving babies should pay attention that the shelf life of CARMEX lipstick is 5 years when unopened, but only 12 months after opening. Therefore, it is best to use up the Xiaomiti lip balm as soon as possible after opening.

The first digit represents the year. The correspondence between numbers and years is as follows: 3, 2, 1, 0, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 represent 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004 respectively.

The third and fourth digits represent the date: 01 means the 1st. For example, 9U02 means it was manufactured on July 2, 2009.

How to check the production batch number of CARMEX lipstick

Cosmetic Calculator is a cosmetics production batch number query website in the United States. It collects more than 380 brands, mainly from the United States, but also includes a small number of European, Japanese and Korean brands, for example. Very niche American brands can be found on this website, but there are fewer brands from countries other than the United States. For example, common Japanese brands such as Shiseido, Haba, Freeplus, Curel, etc. are not included. Although it is an English interface, it is very simple and clear. When searching, you only need to select the brand in the cOSMetic caculator section and enter the production batch number on the bottle. However, since it is a foreign website, it loads slowly and requires scientific Internet access occasionally. You can use the "quick brand search" quick brand query function, enter the brand name in this text box, and select the required brand in the drop-down box that appears. If the required brand does not appear, it means that the brand has not been included.
